Fonte Capital participated in the AIFC Connect event in Dubai

During the event, representatives from the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) presented the investment opportunities in Kazakhstan, its economic role in Central Asia, and the activities of the AIFC to Dubai's business community. The event gathered over 130 representatives from more than 100 companies, including investment banks, international financial and consulting firms, and legal entities.

The event program featured two panel sessions where speakers discussed the prospects for the capital market's development and changes in the financial services sector in the rapidly developing Central Asian region.

One of the key events within AIFC Connect: UAE 2024 was the Ring the Bell ceremony held on May 27 at the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). The ceremony marked AIX's joining the Tabadul digital exchange hub, created by ADX for bilateral cross-exchange trading. ADX launched the Tabadul hub in July 2022 as the first digital exchange service in the region operating on a mutual market access model. The platform creates a digital exchange network for trading between participating exchanges at the regional and global levels, aimed at strengthening cooperation and increasing liquidity in participating markets.

"Cooperation between our countries also extends to the financial sector. A significant outcome of this collaboration was the joining of the Astana International Exchange to the Tabadul Hub. This regional exchange hub, which includes members such as the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), Bahrain Bourse (BHB) and Muscat Securities Market (MSX), facilitates mutual access to markets" - emphasized AIFC Governor Renat Bekturov.

"Joining the Astana International Exchange to the Tabadul digital exchange hub is an important step that promotes cross-border investment opportunities. As an investment management company operating under AIFC jurisdiction, we are excited about the prospects this partnership will bring," - noted Yerzhan Mussin, CEO of Fonte Capital.
